  • You may be able to upload documents, in .pdf, .doc, or .jpeg format to your financial aid file.

Portal Information

  • Select the appropriate award year.
  • In addition to documents needed, the portal displays satisfactory progress status codes earned at YVC. The “due date” indicates when the status was assigned; recognizing this date will help you determine if the status is an older or current status.
  • Documents are processed in the order received. We recommend that you submit all required documents together within 3 weeks of our request. We will not penalize an early applicant because a response deadline was missed. However, we cannot consider you for aid until your file is complete and has been reviewed.

  • When the Stafford Loan Request form shows a received date, we have received the request.
  • When the Stafford Loan has been added to your financial aid awards, we have requested approval of your loan from the Federal Government.
  • When the net amount of loan disbursements are displayed, your loan has been approved by the Federal Government.
  • It usually takes about one week after loan approval for funds to be ready for disbursement. When funds are sent through BankMobile Disbursements, a notation is made in the portal. Funds are sent through BankMobile Disbursements the morning after the date shown.
